What I don't get is why the supposed customer of such remastered DVDs -- the people who LOVE TNG (and only know it in the 4:3 format) -- would WANT to see their beloved series (if only entertainment, art or both) cropped as it wasn't meant to be.

What kind of mentality is that?

The same mentality that puts steak sauce on a perfectly cooked steak.
